Who Wins
- You lose early levels due to Zoe's superior range and Q damage, but you gain significant power at level 6 with R gank setup potential.
- Focus on surviving the early game rather than trying to match her poke damage.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern revolves around E-W combo when Zoe steps forward, but only engage when your passive is down and you can commit fully.
- Short trades favor Zoe, so either go for extended trades with voidlings or don't trade at all.
Wave Control
- Accept early wave disadvantage and focus on safe farming with E until you have lost chapter and levels.
- Once you have waveclear tools, hard push waves to match Zoe's roam potential and create your own map pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your passive shield on minion damage as it's your only protection against Zoe's burst combo.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or river without vision since Zoe's E through walls can set up easy kills for her jungler.
